Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2′<\/a>s resolution and frame rate details for its two main games – Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker – have been revealed.<\/p>\n

The headline is the Switch 2 edition will see 60 frames per second in both games across TV and handheld mode, whereas the Switch 1 version will be capped at 30fps.<\/p>\n

As for resolution, this varies massively based on the platform and how you are playing each game. For example, on Switch 2, MGS4 will have an internal resolution of 1440p in TV mode, whereas Peace Walker will be at 1080p. (Developer Konami adds the caveat that performance across all platforms may vary based on what’s happening in-game, PC hardware configuration, and so on.)<\/p>\n

You can see a comparison of all platforms and modes for both games, as well as the bonus content for buying the Vol. 2 package (which includes Game Boy Color game Metal Gear: Ghost Babel<\/a>) in the following tables (via the official Konami website<\/a>):<\/p>\n
